There's a focus on making games here for obvious reasons, and more generally social networking is the big thing (which is possibly justified). But what do you think alt-tech's biggest priority should be at this point?
A couple possibilities:
-
A genuinely free-speech social network. Not "we'll cave to the big corps as soon as they threaten to delist us" but a network that doesn't count on being listed in the App Store, is willing to distribute its own ipas/apks, etc.
-
An alt-tech search engine that doesn't just get its results from the big corp search engines and only indexes non-woke sites. For example, pulling results only from Infogalactic, and not Wikipedia.
Have to agree with the rest of the posters here. Money and infrastructure. Most software can wait. The most important thing is to have a network that isn't controlled by current governments capable of linking and interfacing without using things like domain names. Make it really easy to route around damage.
Next is money. For fairly obvious reasons. Mastercard is up there in terms of cooperations ranked on readiness to take over a large chunk of the world.
